Gotta say I was never excited at the thought of capello coming in to manage us but after reading this article it could be an excelent long term strategy for the club in bringing someone like capello in for 4 or so years and having Carra as an understudy to soak in as much of a top managers knowledge over a few years, before taking over at the helm.

Terrible article, I take no notice of what the man has to say, he's the same man who turned his back on the Club because he did'nt like Souness.

pie in the sky article. Carra and Gerrard too big for their boots. Think they know it all just becasue they're 'star' players. Like Rio Ferdinand. They should just shut up, let their football do the talking... go and prove themseleves elsewhere before even thinking of taking a seat in the dugout.

Couldnt disagree more regarding Carra,got great potential as a manager,the thought of him being an understudy to a top manager whos been there and done it like capello reminds me of how football clubs used to work,why have a player like carra whos the heartbeat of the club,has been on the books since he was a kid,loves the club as much as we all do and then say to him go an learn the trade elsewhere? surely it makes sense to retain all of that passion,knowledge and experience and have it at OUR disposal?

Brian Reade......

The official spokesperson for Liverpool FC fans worldwide and writer of books to make money on the back of this all encompassing knowledge.

The man disgusts me and I would not read a word of anything this world class prat says.

Plenty of press people write a load of [oops],all im trying to say is the whole carra working under a capello type of manager may be a good long term option for the club,didnt expect the post to turn into such a political im not reading brian reade post. Apologies if im stiring a load of crap up,it wasnt meant

why are you apologising? you haven't done anything wrong? people just have different opinions ... that's what this site is for. feel free to say what you think as long as it doesn't break the rules.

Anyway, back to Carragher. As a senior player, his attitude has sometimes been counter productive. His passion boils over sometimes to the extent that he shouts at his own team mates - that's so arrogant and disrespectful. I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of the reasons why players like Arbeloa and Torres left.

I believe he also undermined Rafa aong with Gerrard. The problem is that they think they know it all.

Now he's come out and said that we shouldn't think of winning the title for a long time. Who's he to place restrictions on the club's ambitions? As a player he should have a totally different mentality. Gerrard was like that too.

Stanley the man took the opportunity to slam Hicks and Gillette every single chance he got by telling us how bad they were for us yet goes out and writes a book about them which proves he himself has made money out of them, double standards me thinks.

How does Carragher love the Club more than we do if he's an Evertonian BTW.

Hear hear!
